How eliminating Act 10 could be costly for Wisconsin taxpayers

(The Center Square) – Wisconsin’s Democratic leaders have vowed to reverse Act 10 and other policies if elected. Now that the party will have power of both branches of the legislature and governor’s office, the question is how they intend to pay for the estimated $2 billion in added costs if they remove the measure, which prevents some public employee unions from collectively negotiating non-wage items, caps wage increases at inflation and allows public employees to opt out of union affiliation. While the state is currently sitting on a $3 billion surplus, those are one-time funds that would mean additional taxpayer funding would be needed in future budgets. If the projected cost increases were passed on to taxpayers, it would cost them an estimated $624 per year if they owned a $300,000 home, according to research from the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty. The group created a calculator in 2025 for taxpayers to estimate what an Act 10 reversal would cost. “I think it will lead to some dramatic negative consequences for Wisconsin education and for taxpayers,” WILL Research Director Will Flanders told The Center Square. Rep. Shae Sortwell, R-Two Rivers, who has a unique perspective as a Manitowoc

Small Wisconsin school district to dissolve after voters reject referendum

(The Center Square) – The Hustisford School District, in eastern Wisconsin, is going away. Wisconsin’s School District Boundary Appeal Board on voted to dissolve the district. It is the first time since 1990 board agreed to close a school district. Hustisford has just 238 students in the entire district and has been losing students for years. The school district asked voters for a $4 million referendum in April, but it failed. Quickly after the election, Hustisford Schools then began the process of shutting down. The vote was the final step. Wisconsin's state superintendent blamed a lack of money, and how the entire state of Wisconsin pays for schools for the shutdown. "The Hustisford School District is a casualty of decades of an antiquated, broken school funding formula that has failed to keep pace with the costs of educating our children," State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly said in a statement. But Hustisford Schools were spending about the state's average per student. Budget numbers show Hustisford's budget was more than $6 million per year and show that the school spends about $22,000 per student. That's more than Wisconsin's state average of nearly $18,000 per student. Hustisford is in rural Dodge County, and
